The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment:
A Comprehensive Study of Lama Tsongkhapa's Middle Length Lam-Rim

The genre of teachings known as the Stages of the Path (Tibetan: lam-rim) represents a synthesis of the entire Buddhist path to enlightenment as set out in the Mahayana scriptures. Among the many texts in this genre, Lama Tsongkhapa's Middle Length Lam-Rim is a comprehensive and straightforward presentation of the essential instructions that support the progressive stages of meditation and practice leading to the attainment of Buddhahood. Easy to understand and apply in meditation, these teachings establish a foundation and context for daily spiritual practice within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment is taught in four sequential courses. The fourth, Realizing Supreme Wisdom, teaches that for the attainment of complete enlightenment it is crucial that the last two of the bodhisattva's six perfections - concentration and wisdom - be brought to their culmination. To accomplish this, a thorough examination of the stages for developing concentration and acquiring an understanding of the most profound wisdom teachings of the Buddha is needed. With an understanding of how to unite these two forces, the bodhisattva can then cut through all obstacles and accomplish supreme enlightenment.
